At a Glance
A tiny, tight-knit elementary school where teacher trust and family satisfaction both score in the high 90s — but academic performance data is missing
Families who prioritize a small, supportive, discipline-strong environment over test-score transparency. This school works well for parents who want high teacher trust and a intimate pre-K-2 setting — but families who need academic data to make decisions will be flying blind. Given the limited grades served, parents should have a plan for elementary school transitions after 2nd grade.
- Perfect teacher scores: 100% instruction quality rating, 100% teacher-principal trust, 100% teacher-reported safety, 100% collegial trust
- Zero suspensions for three years running — an exceptionally disciplined environment
- Parent satisfaction at 95%, well above the 91% district average
- Tiny school (150 students) means small class sizes and a neighborhood feel
- No academic proficiency data available — you can't compare ELA/Math scores to other schools
- Very low PTA fundraising ($7/student vs. $56 district average) means fewer enrichment programs funded by families
- Only serves pre-K through 2nd grade — you'll need to plan for a school transition after 2nd grade
- Small enrollment (150) may mean limited extracurricular options
- Safety scores in the neighborhood are below average (52nd percentile)

School SummaryDistrict 22
Among District 22 peer schools, P.S. 326 doesn't appear in the top-tier list that includes nearby Success Academy campuses (89/100, 86/100) and P.S. 195 Manhattan Beach (85/100). However, those rankings are based heavily on academic metrics that aren't available for this school. In terms of parent satisfaction and teacher trust — which don't show up in traditional school rankings — P.S. 326 outperforms the district average significantly.
Academic proficiency data is not available for P.S. 326, which makes it difficult to assess how well students are performing against district benchmarks. Without ELA or Math scores, parents won't have the usual metrics to evaluate academic rigor. The class size of 23.9 students is essentially average for District 22.
This is where P.S. 326 really stands out. Teachers give 100% ratings for instruction quality, principal trust, and collegial trust — an extraordinary consensus that suggests strong, stable leadership and a collaborative staff environment. Parents mirror that feeling: 95% report satisfaction, 99% trust teachers, and 97% trust the principal. Every teacher also reports feeling safe at work. The discipline record is spotless — zero suspensions for three consecutive years. With a 30% family survey response rate (56 responses), there's decent participation, though not overwhelming.
The student body is 73% Black, 12% Asian, 9% Hispanic, and small percentages of other groups — a demographics profile that closely reflects the surrounding Flatlands neighborhood. About 15% of students have IEPs, slightly above typical. The economic need index sits at 60.3%, indicating a moderate-to-high need population. PTA fundraising is notably low at $7 per student ($1,060 total), far below the district average of $56 per student — suggesting limited extra enrichment funding from families.
Flatlands is a residential, family-dense neighborhood in southeastern Brooklyn characterized by tree-lined blocks, single-family homes, and a strong homeownership rate (60.3%). The median home value is $668,666, and median household income sits at $85,281 — solidly middle-class. Transit access is good (72 percentile), but safety scores are modest (52 percentile, below average). The area has a high family density (74 percentile), making it a natural fit for a neighborhood elementary school. There are local parks and playgrounds along the commercial corridors.
Families likely walk or drive — the neighborhood is car-friendly with decent but not exceptional transit access. The Utica Avenue location puts it along a main Brooklyn thoroughfare with bus service.
